Job34:7

7. What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water ?

i. e. Abundantly and greedily: who doth so oft and so easily break forth into scornful and contemptuous expressions, not only against his friends, but in some sort even against God himself, whom he foolishly and insolently chargeth with dealing rigorously with him. The words may be thus read, What Man, being like Iob, would drink up, &c. That a wicked or foolish Man should do thus, is not strange, but that a Man of such Piety, Gravity, Wisdom and Authority, as Iob, should be guilty of such a sin, this is wonderful.
